Today's critical PHP security fixes: Anchor Hosting sites are already protected by Kinsta's enterprise Cloudflare WAF, and patched PHP is rolling out platform-wide. No action needed on your end. xitter.cf/dok2001/status/2112811…
PHP sites behind Cloudflare already have an initial set of WAF rules deployed for the known exploit vectors in these vulnerabilities. The rules are available to all customers, including free.
We are seeing early attacks emerging and are updating mitigations as new vectors show up.
This is a STOPGAP only. Patch as soon as @ThePHPF releases the update at 14:00 UTC today.

The PHP security team is giving advance notice: Upcoming security release Wed, Oct 21st 2026, 14:00UTC, two critical vulnerabilities, both rated CVSSv4 9.2.
PHP users are encouraged to prepare to update. Earlier release if details become public or active exploit evidence.

Data liberation is now achieved. Port anything to WordPress.
Port <url> to WordPress. They use a proprietary platform. Create a local site using cove.run. Create a custom WordPress theme with goal to preserve and recreate as much of their current site as we can.

If you're not, you should try it. And if you are, you should ping @austinginder
Any agencies/developers out there rolling out Minn Admin? If so feel free to reach out! Would be awesome to highlight real customers. minnadmin.com

COVE
Local WordPress sites in seconds, with HTTPS, a dashboard and zero Docker.
It has a section for agent users, JSON output and a screenshot command.
This is the one my agent picked, and it's still our default.
Thanks @alexmansfield for the tip, and @austinginder for building it

Cove is superior
Austin Ginder retweeted
This is my routine now. Build a local copy, create a Cloudflare tunnel for live testing across multiple devices, deploy to live site via SSH.
WordPress with Cove and AI agents is simply magical 🤯
AI agents ❤️ WordPress:
- Build me a new WordPress locally via cove.run
- Build a custom designed theme that looks like...
- Deploy local site to <url> over ssh
- Make a site that looks like <url> but with data from <url>, use Cove
- Make a WP plugin to do XYZ

WordPress and Agents
How does the architecture of WordPress adapt to an agentic building process?
How do we change the perception of WordPress so agents recommend it?
All that and more 👇

Hello friends! I’m so excited to open founding enrollment for my new course, Vibe Coding Products for Scrappy Founders.
I’m teaching the process I actually use to build with AI, and giving you the guides my own agents use.
It’s how I keep the speed of AI without sacrificing quality control or my understanding of how my systems work. It’s also helped me reduce token usage and, in many cases, offload work to inexpensive local models.
You’ll also get a ready-to-use AI harness I’ve spent the past year refining while building @sirenaffiliates, internal tools for my company, and solutions for my clients at Novatorius.
This isn’t a workflow I put together just to teach a course. It’s how I build.
The first 20 people get a discounted rate and a spot in the founding cohort. That includes a 1:1 call with me before the course opens, where we’ll talk through your product and I’ll offer direct advice on how to move it forward.
Those conversations will help me make the final adjustments to the course: what needs more explanation, where examples would help, and which problems deserve a deeper dive.
You’re not just getting an early-bird discount. You’re getting direct guidance on your product, and helping shape the course around the problems you actually need to solve.
To bypass traditional corporate sponsorships for #LoopConf 2027, we need to hit our ticket goals by November 1st.
To make backing this purchase a no-brainer, every single ticket is 100% refundable until January 31, 2027.

Austin Ginder says hosting companies aren't testing core releases of WordPress, and has open-sourced a tool to make it easier.

Courtney Robertson has left GoDaddy after five years directing the company's WordPress open source program, including a Five for the Future pledge that at its height sponsored 46 contributors across 17 WordPress teams.

Replying to @austinginder
Thanks for the detailed write-up @austinginder, your diagnosis was exactly right.
The fix is now released in WP Rocket 3.23.2.2, so your customers can move to the official version whenever it's convenient.
Sorry for the disruption, and thanks for jumping on it so quickly for your users.
Austin Ginder retweeted
July 24 was my last day at GoDaddy. Five years directing their #WordPress #opensource program. Now open to work: open source programs, #devrel, docs + software supply chain transparency. #ospo

Weeks ago when #WP2Shell dropped and OpenAI Sol Ultra took most of the credit - all I thought about was how all the other labs and AI-pentest companies will rush to prove they can find something in the WordPress core too.
Well, today, 3 weeks later - we have the next WordPress core version release with not one, but 12 vulnerabilities being patched. And as expected, the issues have been reported by @AnthropicAI , @pwn_ai , @AikidoSecurity and others.
The nastiest one is a login screen XSS, which via some social engineering could lead to Remote Code Execution. Luckily, WordPress is auto-updating fast and none of the vulnerabilities are mass-exploitable like WP2Shell was.
As always, @patchstackapp customers received mitigation rules right at the disclosure.
